Environmental Assessment
All projects that receive official development assistance (ODA) from CIDA have to comply with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA). However, since not all projects affect the environment in a significant way, or meet the definition of "project" under CEAA, CIDA determines whether a proposed project needs an environmental assessment on a case-by-case basis.
When an environmental assessment is conducted, the Agency has to review the results before it can consider approving any financial assistance for the project.
To assist you in completing the forms, please refer to the User Notes (PDF Format) manual, which provides complete instructions on how to fill out the forms and to the case studies, which illustrate how the forms are completed. The User Notes instructions are also included as help notes that you can view within the forms. You can also learn more about navigating the CIDA forms at the About the Forms page.
